lyrics

Put your oxen on my back and dig your plow into my flesh
pull it back and forth in long and steady rows
you look back at all the bloody, mounded mess that you have left
you think you killed it but the garden always grows

the rain pours down branches reach up
the man pours water from a pitcher to a cup

put your oxen and your plow onto my back and ride around
you're getting nowhere cuz the harnesses are torn
your shallow roots they wither in the dry and rocky ground
before your neighbors give you blessings from the Lord.

the rain pours down branches reach up
the man pours water from a pitcher to a cup
